I was testing Kaspersky and one thing I noticed that Kaspersky don't notify for PUP detection. I executed a PUP for which Kaspersky has signatures but even then there was no notification from it. Only if you open the UI there will see that it has turned yellow and there it's waiting for you to choose whether to allow or resolve the PUP.
It's perfectly fine if Kaspersky don't want to delete PUP automatically but it should at least notify the user about the detection and ask what to do. It asks you if you scan PUPs manually but the real time protection doesn't. I don't know if it happens for all types of PUP or if there's a sub-category for it but this is weird and not a pleasant experience I must say.
Kaspersky will block and notify if the program is a threat to the user, if not it will remain silence.
For example, in this case I was creating a Bat file with an office KMS activator, kaspersky warn me:
